What are some good examples of thread backfires?

I'm dying at the Chipotle/Barbershop one.

The best part is that 80% of the thread is banned users, except OP.

I love when mods go full berserk and play the part, specially when they start talking about blood gods and quoting GIFS.

You know a thread delivers when you see lots of grey tags.
 
hi my fish is dead and his name is jcvd

Thread title was originally "RIP JCVD" but reading the responses after the title change is even more hilarious.

I remember a thread where the OP was so scared of getting scammed on eBay that he himself scammed the buyer by using the digital codes he was selling and then asked adviced on how to report the scam-buyer. Or the one where someone was complaining about getting deported by the girl he loved.

This is a great list here, was laughing for hours on end.

Does anyone have a link to the thread where the guy talked about how his brother just released a hip hop album that he worked on for 7 years and had iTunes links? It ended up being one of the funniest things I've ever listened to. That was amazing.
 
This guy. Both of his threads make him sound like an Alien. The hug thread is even more entertaining than the waitress thread, holy shit.

So much thought put into something as simple as a hug.

Hug thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=955165

Wait until you find out what he thinks about Mario Kart and Sales Tax!

Jesus Christ what an asshole... I can't believe I defended him on that one thread he linked.

My favorite is how he "doesn't usually think Indian girls are hot," or some such nonsense.

Wow that 21st century bible thing is a new one to me.

It's like a grown ass man with the mind of a 14 year old 9 gagger.

Damn, and his motivation is "successful shows like South Park and Family Guy have done cruder and less funny". Yeesh


Genesis and Exodus will be fun to re-write, but once you get to Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, you'll wonder why you started.

Lol. Seems he didn't even get started on Exodus
 
Nothing compares to the backfire on the guy that hadn't heard from his girlfriend in a few days as she was travelling though Texas or something.

Man I followed that from day 1 and something didn't feel right. People here called hospitals, cops, there was a car that was in a crash or something, a sister being involved and I think someone getting intouch with the girlfriend?

It was proper cray.

All the amazing backfires have already been posted, but this one in a thread of mine was funny. Though, at the time, being called a scumbag (though I was one) pissed me off.

The writing was shapeless like a Filipina woman.

What about the thread where the guy took a very-religious girl's virginity and she said "thank you" after he finished, and it pissed him off.

That was a huge backfire. Then I think she got pregnant -_-
Wonder what the current situation is.

Guy reads book, proceeds to rib on it, fellow members seem to agree, thread dies off, seemingly forgotten...or so we thought, as we get our real focus for the backfiring. The book's author actually turns up. Unaware of how to quote others posts as well as adding a signature of who he is and the link to his website at the end of each of his, it was easily ripe for mockery.

And after that good ribbing from all of us throughout, he decided to exit out of here...

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=157017088&postcount=165

And then proceeds to vent his anger on Twi...you know what screw it, Mandrake explains it better than I ever could.

The thread where the guy that is into a very niche Japanese fashion scene bled on a shirt in a store, told an employee, paid for the shirt and then ran off without taking the shirt hoping that this would result in being able to get a full refund upon returning to the store.

This one's special to me because I'm the first person he quoted correctly.
 
Possibly the greatest thread i have ever witnessed through my years of lurking on gaf.

The thread was titled 'so my girlfriend cheated on me with a what'

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=833440

i'd describe the thread, but i think the op and what follows is far too great for me to even give you a hint as to what it is, however if you aren't yet sold i'll spoiler tag the gist of it

guy is claiming his girlfriend cheated on him with a ghost
